UT System Live Webcast of Wednesday's Meeting, Future of UT Brownsville

The UT System meets Wednesday to discuss and possibly take action on the future location of UT Brownsville. I've called the UT System Board office, and I've been told this will take place under MEETING OF THE BOARD at 12:20 p.m. Wednesday. The meetings may be watched live.

price not to exceed fair market value as established by independent appraisals for

The Chancellor concurs in the recommendation of President García and Executive Vice

System transition team for UTB to identify and recommend to the Board one or more sites to be acquired through gift and/or purchase at a price not to exceed fair market value for the future campus of U.
